Stir Fried Veggies With Egg Tofu


This stir fry recipe is an extremely simple and satisfying one. I could just have this alone for lunch or dinner.

Slice the egg tofus and fry till golden brown. Once done, remove from heat and place them on a kitchen roll to absorb the excess oil.






Go on to blanch all the vegetables. Make sure not to blanch them too long to ensure that the veggies are still crunchy. Once blanched, immediately place the vegetables in cold water. This is because it stops the cooking process and the vegetable remains crunchy. Blanch the vegetables separately.





In a wok/pan heat some oil and sauté the onion and garlic till soft and fragrant.



To that add some oyster sauce and a pinch of salt.



Add the blanched veggies and fried egg tofu and give a quick toss. 




Remove from heat and sprinkle some chopped spring onions, if desired and serve hot.
